It all started with an announcement by Minister Harris which left me with a feeling of discrimination being imposed on us adults with type 1 diabetes. The anger set in when the reality and gravity of this decision finally began to become obvious. The reality that only a few hundred children would actually benefit for Libre reimbursement by the HSE and NOT the thousands that the media headlines actually reported. A petition was set up to give people an opportunity to voice their feelings and do something about it. Since then !……. The petition has nearly 13,000 signatures and many comments & reasons for signing. Please sign it if you have not already done so. Everything I was, I carry with me. Everything I will be, lies waiting on the road ahead. There was a time when #Type1Diabetes was not a part of my life, and then came the diagnosis. Now future #diabetes advocacy lies waiting on the road ahead for me and everyone else who wants to make a difference. Since we set up the petition – Equality for all people with #Type1 #Diabetes. Reimburse Freestyle Libre for adults and children equally. Simon Harris TD @SimonHarrisTD HSE Ireland @HSELive
